Vid III [English translation]

The storms rage1 midwinter-time

Make the forest difficult to travel through

For the cold death reigns

Over all2 the land

And the fog is too thick

To glimpse God's house

Never before [had] I felt a cold so harsh

Never I saw a landscape so dead

God has no gifts for sweets of the autumn's3

Mirror

I realize the art of my torment

It's winter in the north

And the soul blackens

1. Or "roar"2. Not sure how to fit "ganske" into this sentence. In my mind "ganske" means "fairily/roughly/quite"...3. Strange sentence but not sure how else to interpret it right now.
